The Center on Animal Liberation Affairs is pleased to announce the First Annual Student Association Conference on April 23-25, 2004 on the Syracuse University Campus. This two-day conference will feature guest speakers, panel discussions and presentations of papers by students--graduate and undergraduate. The conference is multi-disciplinary and encourages students from any course of study to submit proposals. Since presentations are limited to graduate and undergraduate students, the CALA Student Conference is an ideal place for a first conference presentation in an academic setting, especially for undergraduate students moving into graduate work.
